Hi Y'all...

First backpacking trip I'm going on in I don't know how long! I am doing an 18 mile out and back hike with my son's Scout pack next weekend (17th-19th). One of the boys recently had an insulin pump implanted (2 weeks ago). AFAIK this will be his first major outing since the surgery. His mom says he is getting the hang of the pump and is doing well with it, but I know there is and can be a big difference when you're exercising. I know a couple people here have pumps... do you snack more or less constantly while hiking, or what do you do to keep your Bgl within a safe range? Also, how much extra insulin do you use? I have no experience in this area.

Thanks!!
